When our oldest daughter went off to college we bought her a brand new Nissan Sentra. About six weeks later she came home to visit and her engine looked like that. After clearing the nest found 2 of the 4 spark plug wires chewed bare. New set of wires (fun to find for a new car) and back good as new. Planted a few moth balls around and no more issues. The little bas.... ds like to nest on a warm engine in cooler weather just like other critters do. Had a neighbour's cat did that many years ago. I got into habit of tapping on the hood before starting the engine. Would see her scamper. Unfortunately for her a different neighbour she only learned to not crawl up on MY engine to stay warm. Yup, she reached life #9 on top a Chevy 350.
